PEO and EOR are close cousins, not the same thing.

In the United States, PEO is the standard arrangement for small companies that want shared employment liability. In India, the same operational model is most often called Employer of Record because Indian labour law does not formally recognise "co-employment". Versatile structures the engagement the same way under either name; the legal form is single-employer with full statutory obligations on us. The branding follows what your procurement function expects.

US founder asking for "India PEO"

You came to this page looking for the term you know. PEO in India works as Employer of Record under our entity. The operational outcome is the same: we are the legal employer, you direct the work.

Joint employment risk concerns, resolved

Indian courts apply a substance-over-form test. As long as Versatile holds the contract, runs the payroll, and assumes statutory liability, joint-employment exposure is minimal for your US/UK parent.

Statutory PF, ESIC, gratuity on us

Provident Fund. Employees State Insurance. Gratuity accrual. Karnataka professional tax. TDS. Form 16. All on the Versatile entity. You see one consolidated invoice and an audit-ready documentation packet.

Employee benefits, group rates

Questions we hear most.

Is PEO different from Employer of Record in India?

Operationally they are the same. In US labour law, PEO refers to a specific co-employment arrangement under the Internal Revenue Code. In India, no such co-employment statute exists. The Indian equivalent is single-employer Employer of Record, where one entity (Versatile / Foo Falcon Pvt Ltd) holds the full statutory employment relationship. Both produce the same outcome: we are the legal employer, you direct the work.

Should I use the term "PEO" or "EOR" with my procurement team?

Use whichever your procurement team is familiar with. US-based procurement teams typically default to "PEO". UK and European procurement teams typically default to "EOR". The Versatile contract is identical in both cases.

Does Versatile assume joint employment liability?

Indian courts apply a substance-over-form test. As long as Versatile holds the employment contract, runs the payroll, makes statutory contributions, and provides the working environment governance, joint-employment exposure is minimal for your US/UK parent. We carry professional indemnity and E&O insurance for the engagement.

What is the difference between PEO and staffing?

Staffing is short-term placement of contractors. PEO/EOR is full-time employment with statutory obligations (PF, ESIC, gratuity, TDS, Form 16). Staffing is fine for one-month engagements. PEO/EOR is the right structure for long-term India team members. Versatile offers both (CoR and EOR), priced separately.

Does Versatile run my India payroll under PEO?

Yes. The monthly payroll cycle includes salary credit, PF/ESIC filings, professional tax, TDS deduction, and challan filing. You receive a consolidated USD or INR invoice every month with the per-employee breakdown.
